This morning I listened to another good Tom Ashbrook OnPoint podcast, this time
the interviewee was the 75 year old artist Frank Stella
- you can listen to the interview here: http://onpoint.wbur.org/2011/05/25/frank-stella.
As regular followers of my blog know, I've been revisiting things renaissance,
especially frescoes. As it happens, one of Stella's inspiration has always been
Caravaggio, but I decided to do a little play between the largest oil painting in
Europe, Tintoretto's Paradise at Palazzo Ducale in Venice, and the largest
contemporary mural, Stella's 1992-3 project at Princess of Wales Theatre in
Toronto, Canada.
